Safe & Responsible Play

Responsible Gambling at bi999

Gambling is entertainment — and we want it to stay that way. bi999 is committed to giving every Pakistani player the tools, information and support to keep their gaming experience within healthy limits.

18+ Adults Only Self-Exclusion Available 24/7 Support

Gambling Should Always Feel Like a Choice


At bi999, responsible gambling is not a policy document tucked away in a footer — it is a core part of how we build and operate the platform. We believe the best gaming experience is one where players are informed, in control and playing for fun, not chasing losses or neglecting other parts of their lives.

Pakistan has a vibrant sports culture, from PSL cricket matches in Lahore and Karachi to T20 internationals in Rawalpindi. Many users come to bi999 to add an extra layer of engagement to the games they already love watching. That is a healthy, enjoyable way to use the platform — but only when it remains within limits that the player has consciously set for themselves.

This page explains the responsible gambling tools available on bi999, describes the warning signs of problematic gambling behaviour, provides a simple self-assessment guide, and outlines how to access support. We encourage every user to read it in full — not just if things feel difficult, but before you start playing.

Adults Only — Strictly 18+

All bi999 services are available exclusively to adults aged 18 and over — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's applicable license jurisdiction. Age verification is mandatory for all accounts. Underage gambling is prohibited without exception. If you believe a minor is using bi999, please contact support immediately via live chat.

Legal Notice for Pakistani Users

Online gambling is subject to the Prevention of Gambling Act 1977 and related legislation in Pakistan. bi999 does not claim to be licensed, approved or endorsed by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any provincial authority. Users in Pakistan are solely responsible for determining whether online gambling is lawful in their jurisdiction. Playing on bi999 does not make gambling legal under Pakistani law — users must make that determination themselves.

Gambling Is Not a Source of Income

Gambling outcomes are based on chance. No strategy, system or betting pattern can guarantee a profit over time. bi999 strongly advises all users: never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Never use gambling to try to recover previous losses. Never borrow money to fund gambling activity. Set strict limits before every session and stop when you reach them.

Need Help Right Now?

If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour or that of someone you know, bi999's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat within the platform. You can also request self-exclusion or limit adjustments directly from your Account settings at any time.

Responsible Gambling Tools on bi999


Every registered bi999 account includes a full suite of responsible gambling controls, accessible directly from account settings. These tools are not locked behind support tickets — you can activate and adjust them yourself at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your bi999 account per day, per week or per month. Once a deposit limit is active, it cannot be raised immediately — increases take effect after a mandatory cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions. Decreasing a limit takes effect straight away.

Loss Limits

A loss limit caps the total amount you can lose over a defined period (daily, weekly or monthly). When your losses reach the set threshold for that period, further wagering is blocked until the limit period resets. Loss limits are one of the most effective tools for preventing spending beyond your means.

Wager Limits

Wager limits restrict the maximum amount you can stake per bet or per session. This is particularly useful for players who want to extend their playing time and reduce the speed at which their balance moves, without needing to stop and reassess their session midway through a match.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum continuous session duration. When your session time limit is reached, bi999 will display a clear notification prompting you to take a break. The platform will not continue seamlessly past your limit without your deliberate acknowledgment — ensuring that time limits are a genuine pause, not a formality.

Cooling-Off Periods

Request a temporary break from bi999 for a period you choose — typically ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During a cooling-off period, your account is suspended for gaming activity while remaining accessible for withdrawals. No promotional communications will be sent during this time.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion closes your bi999 account for a minimum defined period — or permanently, if you choose. During self-exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit or wager. Requests for early reinstatement during a self-exclusion period will not be processed. Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available and should be used whenever you feel your gambling is no longer under your control.

How to Activate These Controls

Via Account Settings

All responsible gambling tools are available directly in your bi999 account under the Responsible Gambling section. Deposit limits, loss limits, session timers and cooling-off periods can be set, reduced or activated immediately without contacting support.

Via Live Chat Support

If you prefer, our 24/7 support team can assist you in setting up any responsible gambling limit or requesting self-exclusion directly through live chat. Agents are trained to handle these requests with sensitivity and without pressure to continue playing.

Lowering Limits Takes Effect Immediately

If you reduce a deposit, loss or wager limit, the new lower limit applies right away — no waiting period. This ensures that when you decide to scale back, there is no delay that might allow further spending beyond your new threshold.

Raising Limits Has a Mandatory Cooling Period

To prevent impulsive increases, raising a limit does not take effect until a mandatory waiting period has passed. This is intentional — it gives you time to reflect on whether an increase is a considered decision or an in-the-moment reaction to a loss.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling


Problem gambling can develop gradually and often goes unnoticed until it has had a significant impact on finances, relationships and mental wellbeing. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy entertainment. If you recognise any of these in yourself — or in someone you know — please take them seriously and consider using the tools above or seeking support.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or exceeding your own self-imposed budget regularly.
  • Chasing losses — increasing your wagers to try to recover money lost in earlier sessions.
  • Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses, such as rent, food, utility bills or children's education.
  • Borrowing money from family, friends or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling.
  • Spending significantly more time gambling than intended — losing track of hours, missing commitments.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling, or when attempting to cut back.
  • Hiding gambling activity from family members or close friends, or lying about losses.
  • Neglecting work, family responsibilities or personal health due to gambling activity.
  • Viewing gambling as the primary means of solving financial problems or escaping stress.
  • Having previously tried to cut back or stop gambling without success.
Quick Self-Assessment Guide

Reflect honestly on the questions below. This is for personal reflection only — answers are not submitted anywhere.

Have you ever gambled more than you intended in a single session?

Never Sometimes Often Always

Have you tried to recover gambling losses by placing further bets?

Never Occasionally Regularly

Has gambling ever interfered with work, family or daily responsibilities?

No Once or twice Multiple times

Have you ever hidden gambling activity from people close to you?

No Yes

Have you gambled using money needed for essential expenses?

No Yes
What Your Answers Mean

If you answered "Sometimes", "Often", "Yes" or "Regularly" to any of the questions above, it may be worth considering whether your gambling habits are affecting your wellbeing. This is not a clinical diagnosis — it is a prompt to reflect. Reaching out to bi999 support or considering a self-exclusion period are both positive steps, not admissions of failure.

Concerned About Someone Else?

If you are worried about a family member or friend who may have a gambling problem, the most helpful step is to have a calm, non-judgmental conversation about your concerns. Avoid ultimatums and focus on your own experience of the impact. Encourage them to use available tools and seek support. bi999 support can also assist if you need guidance on this.

Principles of Safer Gambling


These practical principles apply whether you are watching a PSL match in Lahore or placing live bets from anywhere across Pakistan. Keep them in mind before every session.

Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before you open the platform — not during a session when excitement or frustration can cloud judgment. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment, not as capital you expect to grow.

Budgeting
Set Time Limits in Advance

Decide how long you plan to play before you start — whether it is 30 minutes during a T20 lunch break or one hour on a weekend afternoon. Use bi999's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically. Walk away when the time is up.

Time Management
Never Chase Losses

Chasing losses is one of the most common paths from casual gambling to problem gambling. If you have reached your loss limit for the session, stop. The next bet is not more likely to win because you have been losing — randomness does not correct itself in your favour.

Loss Discipline
Avoid Gambling Under Stress

Gambling when you are under financial pressure, emotionally distressed or using alcohol increases the risk of poor decisions and larger losses. Use the platform when you are relaxed and in a clear headspace — gambling as relief from stress is a warning sign, not a solution.

Emotional Awareness
Only Use Funds You Can Afford to Lose

Only deposit money from your disposable income — money that is genuinely available after all essential expenses (rent, food, bills, savings) have been accounted for. In Pakistan, this means using PKR amounts that do not affect household or family financial commitments in any way.

Financial Safety
Keep Balance in Your Life

Gambling should be one optional entertainment activity among many, not the primary way you spend your leisure time or manage your emotions. Maintain regular social connections, physical activity and other interests. If gambling starts to crowd out other parts of your life, take a break.

Wellbeing

Support Resources


If you feel your gambling is no longer under your control, reaching out for help is the most important thing you can do. bi999 encourages every user to take this step without hesitation or embarrassment.

bi999 recommends that users who are concerned about their gambling seek guidance from recognised problem gambling support services available in their jurisdiction. For users in Pakistan, accessing mental health or financial counselling services, whether through healthcare providers or community organisations, is a positive and important step.

bi999 itself does not operate as a counselling service, but our support team can assist with account-level interventions — including self-exclusion, limit activation and account closure — at any time via live chat.

Common Questions About Support

You can activate self-exclusion directly from your Account settings under the Responsible Gambling section, or by contacting the bi999 support team via live chat at any time. Self-exclusion takes effect promptly once confirmed. You will not be able to log in, deposit or place wagers during the exclusion period.

No. Requests to reopen an account during an active self-exclusion period will not be processed. This is intentional — the cooling period is there to protect you. For permanent self-exclusions, reinstatement is not available. For timed exclusions, your account may be reviewed at the end of the stated period upon your request.

No. Once a cooling-off period or self-exclusion is active, all marketing and promotional communications are suspended. You will not receive bonus offers, match day notifications or promotional emails during this period.

Your real-money balance remains in your account during self-exclusion and can be withdrawn. Bonus balances not yet fully wagered will be forfeited at the point of self-exclusion in accordance with the applicable bonus terms. Contact support to initiate a withdrawal during your exclusion period.

If you are concerned about a family member or someone close to you, approach them calmly and without judgment. Share your concerns, offer support, and encourage them to use available tools such as self-exclusion. For more intensive support, seek guidance from a healthcare provider or counselling service in Pakistan. If you believe someone is using your payment details for gambling without your consent, contact bi999 support immediately.

General Responsible Gambling Guidance

Responsible gambling organisations operating in the operator's license jurisdiction offer confidential support, self-assessment tools and counselling services for individuals experiencing gambling-related difficulties. bi999 recommends that users who are struggling seek out recognised problem gambling support services available in their region.

For Pakistani users, mental health and financial counselling services are available through healthcare providers and community welfare organisations. Seeking help early leads to better outcomes.

Age Verification Process

bi999 applies strict age verification as part of the KYC process. All users must confirm they are at least 18 years old — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable license jurisdiction — during registration. Document verification (CNIC, passport or equivalent) is required to complete this process. Accounts created by underage users will be closed immediately and any balance returned to the deposit source.

Remember at All Times
  • Gambling is not a guaranteed way to make money.
  • Past wins do not predict future results.
  • Losses cannot reliably be recovered through further gambling.
  • Responsible gambling means staying in control — of your time, your money and your emotions.
  • Help is available. Using it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
